The Filming Day- How we set up and filming
We arrived at our filming location at 10.30am. I brought the equipment which I had collected the previous day to the location, and also helped the actor get together his outfit and the props he was kindly lending us, for example the record player.
Tammy and Izzy decided to put the photos onto the wall, and put all of the pills into the cupboard. They also checked the location to ensure all of the trip hazards such as stools were out of the way of filming, and also checked the risk assessment to ensure all precautions were put into place to minimise the chance of someone getting hurt or something getting damaged.
Whilst Tammy and Izzy were doing this, I started to assemble the tripods, set up the camera (including the white balance), set up the lighting, and then I moved all of the equipment into the first room for filming, which was the bathroom. I then taped the wires to the floor to minimise any tripping hazards. I then completed a test shot to ensure the white balance was correct and that the camera would film. I also then put the spare batteries on charge in case the current batteries ran out of charge.

Some problems we encountered were that Evan, our actor, couldn't locate his watch at home. This was a slight problem because time was a focal point of the narrative. However, this problem was easily resolved because Frankie's Dad had a watch we could use instead. Another problem encountered included Evan not being able to find a dark shirt, and so he wore a light blue stripey one. However, this didn't affect the overall look we were going for.
Whilst filming, both the lights blew, which was just pure bad luck, and so we didn't have adequate lighting to film in. However, we had to make the most of the situation because we couldn't film another day, as the equipment will have been booked out. The footage is fine, and with some editing, I am hoping that it will be to a high standard.
